Caption: Netanyahu Vows To 'Tell The Truth' About Israel's Actions At United Nations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will use his United Nations speech this week to defend Israel's military actions in Gaza. Netanyahu also accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of supporting Hamas after the mayor sharply criticised the Israeli leader. Mamdani called Netanyahu a "war criminal" and accused him of being an architect of what he described as a genocide against Palestinians. Mamdani has condemned antisemitism and maintains that his criticism of Israel has been wrongly conflated with antisemitism. The October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel killed about 1,200 people and saw another 251 taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. More than 73,000 Palestinians have since been killed in Gaza, according to local health officials, whose figures do not distinguish between fighters and civilians. Israel denies committing genocide, saying its military campaign is aimed at dismantling Hamas and accusing the group of operating among civilians. Netanyahu’s spokesman Doron Spielman said the prime minister would use the UN platform to present Israel's position and challenge what he called a "false narrative”.
